Bradshaw - Soil Hill circular [a.m.]:
I had walk through the fields, up Ned Hill and along Soil Hill main track on a bright, breezy and cool morning.
Same birds as yesterday (more or less).
A Red Legged Partridge left the fields, landed on the wall and dropped down onto the lane to walk ahead of me for a few 100 yds!
A Little Owl flushed from the normal fields.
Chiffchaff singing as I passed through Crabtree Hall Farm with a few Stock Doves here.
Skylarks and Meadow Pipit were active as I went up Soil Hill main track, turning right at the top, past the quarry.
3 Curlew were airborne hereabouts and 2 Lapwing were in the fields west of Kelham farm shop.
A Sparrowhawk flushed from trees along Taylor Lane.
Garden:
A Coal Tit (quite rare here) was in trees, seen from the garden.
3 Canada Geese airborne, over the garden.
Local Fields [p.m.]
Cold with intermittent wintry showers this evening as I had a walk up the local fields.
The walk paid dividends with a solitary Wheatear, mega distant, way down in the horse field.
Pretty chuffed that I'd eyeballed it from that distance.
It was on the limit of my camera's capabilities.
The Little Owl had moved fields - 'up north' - to avoid a tractor chain harrowing in the field near its normal wall.
